2024-10-29 19:42:56"I am Dominick Torino, CEO of Torino Group. I've heard some embarrassing things about you, Oliver. Why don't you come to work for my company as a security guard? With that look on your face, you'll definitely keep people in check," Dominick said with a snicker.
"Take the job, Oliver, so you won't be wandering the streets after the divorce. You already know I've made up my mind to dump you," Cara said to Oliver unapologetically.
Oliver frowned at them.
"I'll never work for such a small company!" Oliver snapped, and his response made everyone present erupt in a fit of laughter.
"Ignorant fool. My company is just about to receive a huge investment from Black Oil Incorporated. You don't know what you've missed," Dominick replied to Oliver.
Oliver's anger suddenly swirled into surprise. His eyes dazzled with curiosity when he heard the name.
"Black Oil Incorporated has expanded into the country?" He asked Dominick who glared at him with curiosity in his eyes.
"How does someone like you know about them?" Dominick asked Oliver, arching a brow.
"Oh, Dom, it's a waste of time to discuss this with Oliver. He knows nothing!" Cara cut in and sighed, shifting Dominick's attention from the question at hand.
"Dominick, why don't you join us for breakfast? You know we've discussed briefly about marriage with my daughter Cara. Perhaps we should continue our discussions," Oliver's father-in-law proposed to Dominick who nodded at the suggestion.
Oliver thought for a moment. They wanted to repay him evil with good. If they were done with him, they had to return all that he had given to them!
"I demand a condition for the divorce!" Oliver said out loud while the others tried to leave for the dining room.
They stopped and turned to him.
"Refund my ten million dollars!" Oliver added, and suddenly, Cara laughed.
"Oh, Oliver. Why don't you face reality here? We have decided to kick you out without a penny and there is nothing you can do about it! It's over, Oliver! Deal with it!!" Cara yelled at him.
"There will be consequences if you hold my money!" Oliver responded to her, but the reply he got was an eruption of laughter.
The others mumbled inaudible words of mockery as they left for the dining room.
"Reconsider my offer, Oliver. There's still time," Dominick said out loud as their footsteps receded.
From where he stood, Oliver could hear Cara's giggles. That made him even more furious.
He went inside his room, took out his phone, and dialed a number. The phone rang for a moment before the receiver picked up.
"Hello?" A man said from the other side.
"This is Oliver Blaze. Am I speaking with Jack, the head of Black Oil Incorporated's overseas branch?" Oliver asked.
"Mr Blaze! Yes, I am him. How may I be of assistance today?" Jack suddenly replied as soon as he heard Oliver's name.
His wife's family had forced his hand and now, he would deal with them.
What they didn't know, was that Oliver was the owner of Blaze Financials, the biggest finance company in the country!
Oliver inherited the company when he was just a child.
Only the World Bank could store Oliver's wealth, and not even Oliver knew how rich he was. He had to disguise himself so that he would find true love; a woman who would love him not because of money.
He even changed his surname from Blaze to Dean, in a bid to avoid detection.
Oliver thought he found love in Cara, but Oliver realized he had made a mistake. He had to correct it.
"I wish to confirm if Black Oil Incorporated now has a branch in St Mary's City," Oliver said.
"Yes, Mr Blaze. We just recently expanded," Jack replied. Oliver nodded his head in realization.
"Tell the domestic branch that I'll be visiting soon, and if the offer to sell Black Oil Incorporated is still on, I'll be purchasing your company. I shall grant you temporary access to my Black Account. Take what you need, " Oliver added.
"Very well, sir. Thank you for this generosity, sir!" Jack replied and Oliver hung up. He gave the access to his account and walked out of the room with resolve in his heart.
Seconds later, a ping rang from Oliver's phone. He had received a notification. Black Oil Incorporated was now his!
As he read the contents of the text, he walked briskly past the dining room where his wife's family was having breakfast.
"Accept the fucking job, Oliver. It's a privilege for someone like you!" His father-in-law yelled at him.
Oliver's anger surged. They didn't know what was coming to them.

A taxi drove to a stop in front of Black Oil Incorporated's local branch. Oliver stepped down from the taxi and eyed the building. He paid the cabbie off and approached the establishment, but the security man standing there stretched forth his hand and pushed Oliver back."You cannot come inside," the security man said to him with disdain. Oliver arched his brow."What do you mean? This company allows access for everyone, do they not?" Oliver questioned."This company is a fast-rising advanced tech company that opens its doors to potential customers alone. You are not a potential customer! Take a look at yourself. You're a poor tramp in old, worn-out clothes. You belong in an asylum. Leave, or I will kick you out myself!!" The security man yelled at Oliver.Oliver frowned. His anger slowly twisted his heart as he dipped his hand into his pocket and took out a ring.The ring was made of pure gold and had a large "B" engraved on it.The security man watched as Oliver wore the ring, and

It's been three days since the divorce. Oliver stepped into his new office wearing an expensive black Italian suit with leather shoes. He had a good haircut and looked as sophisticated as they come.He looked different, like he had undergone a major glow up!When he entered his office, his phone rang. The caller was Jamie, his late father's butler, who had always told Oliver not to bring himself down and disguise himself as a poor guy to search for love."Young master Oliver, I have an update on your father's assassination twenty years ago. Tim, your ex-wife's father, is responsible!"Jamie suddenly blurted out, like the weight of the realization was too much for him to bear. Oliver frowned, his face darkening."What did you just say?" He asked in a menacing tone."Do you remember the Circadian Deal? The business deal that took the finance world by a storm years ago? Your father was the driving force. It would have changed the country's economic state for good. Lives would have been em

I'm fine. You've already given me a promotion at work. That is enough for me," Geena said meekly, and Oliver smiled."Your kind is rare, Geena. I must reward you for being a good person. Besides, when we get married, you'll have a company of your own!" Oliver said to her, still looking around. Geena was shocked."You want to marry me?" She asked him. Oliver took her hand and kissed it."Geena. Since I set my eyes on you, I knew that you would become my wife. When the time is right, I'll ask you to marry me. But for now, just enjoy what I'll buy for you," he told her and sh

You should be focused on getting your terminated contract back from Oliver Blaze," Cara said to Dominick while they stepped into the casino.Dominick's mind was made up, and his glares were intentional.

"Young master, there's been an accident! Your girlfriend Geena is dead!!" Jamie's words made Oliver freeze. Oliver had decided not to go to the office that day, and Geena took his car instead."What did you say?" Oliver asked Jamie like he didn't quite get it the first time."There was an explosion at the square. Your car exploded. The police are on their way as we speak-" Jamie's words were cut off when Oliver dashed out of the house.He quickly grabbed the first car that he saw, and got in. And then, Oliver zoomed off.

Tim, Cara's father, admonished Dominick in the interrogation room.They had bribed the police to come in and speak with Dominick themselves. Cara was there as well, an exasperated look written on her face."Confessing to the crime is better than Oliver Blaze finding me. He killed my assassin, Tim. Do you know what that means? I'm like a cockroach waiting to be snapped!" Dominick replied to the older man."I warned you against picking a fight against Oliver Blaze in the first place. But you didn't listen. Look what that has gotten you," Cara said to Dominick and rolled her eyes. He looked confused. So many things were going through his mind at the same time."Why are you both here?

It's been twelve hours since Oliver gave Oscar the mission. And during that time, a doctor had stopped over to check Geena out. She was in a good condition.Oliver's father didn't call or show up. It was like he had disappeared all over again. Oliver was not anxious, for he knew that the man would resurface again."He has a plan and I must figure it out," Oliver said to himself. Then , his phone rang. It was Oscar. Oliver picked up the phone."Oscar?" He said."Boss. I couldn't find anything on your father," Oscar said to Oliver. Oliver arched his brow."What do you mean by that?" He asked Oscar who sighed."It's like he didn't even exist until yesterday. Everything registered under his name dates back to his time of death. And no camera was able to capture his face or anything all this time," Oscar said to Oliver. Oliver nodded."I'll take it from here, Oscar," Oliver said and hung up. As expected, Oliver knew his father would cover his tracks. What was the man up to? Was he even a s

The older man approached Oliver with a smile on his face. Oliver froze as he gazed at his father, a million questions rushing through his head at that moment"Son, you look like you've seen a ghost," Harry, Oliver's dad said to him with the same creepy smile. Geena observed the drama, and the hush that hung in the hair was haunting."Dad? How are you here? You died," Oliver said to Harry who smiled. Then, his eyes roamed to Geena and he stared at her for some time."Oliver, can I speak with you alone?" He asked, still glaring at Geena. Oliver arched his brow while his father kept gazing at his girlfriend. He turned to Geena and she nodded. As Osiris took her upstairs, Harry walked to the mini bar in the living room, his fingers trailing every bit of furniture in the place."It's just like I remember. Nothing has changed.

Ludacris asked him and Oliver nodded while raising his brow."Where is he?" Ludacris asked him again. Oliver crossed his arms and stared at Ludacris."You tell me," Oliver said to him. Ludacris let out a nervous chuckle."I don't understand, boss. What do you mean?" He asked in response."What does the mafia have on you, Ludacris? I know that you are the spy. You'd betray me like that? And Jamie, did you lead Jamie to his death?" Oliver fumed.Ludacris knew that he was done for. There was no way he could deny what was so obvious.
